Atom trapping with a thin magnetic film
Micah Boyd, Erik W. Streed, Patrick Medley +4
We have created a Rb Bose-Einstein condensate in a magnetic trapping potential produced by a hard disk platter written with a periodic pattern. Cold atoms were loaded from a…
Continuous and Pulsed Quantum Zeno Effect
Erik W. Streed, Jongchul Mun, Micah Boyd +4
Continuous and pulsed quantum Zeno effects were observed using a Rb Bose-Einstein condensate(BEC). Oscillations between two ground hyperfine states of a magnetically trapped…
Parametric Amplification of Atoms
Gretchen K. Campbell, Jongchul Mun, Micah Boyd +3
We have observed parametric generation and amplification of ultracold atom pairs. A 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate was loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice with quasimoment…
Large atom number Bose-Einstein Condensate machines
Erik W Streed, Ananth P Chikkatur, Todd L Gustavson +6
We describe experimental setups for producing large Bose-Einstein condensates of 23Na and 87Rb. In both, a high flux thermal atomic beam is decelerated by a Zeeman slower and is ca…
Photon recoil momentum in dispersive media
Gretchen K. Campbell, Aaron E. Leanhardt, Jongchul Mun +4
A systematic shift of the photon recoil due to the index of refraction of a dilute gas of atoms has been observed. The recoil frequency was determined with a two-pulse light gratin…
